What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 1 June 2022 · Last inspected 27 April 2022
Inspectors found that the home, which supports older people including some living with dementia, was without a registered manager at the time of the visit and was being overseen by the provider's wider operations team. Staff were described as having been recruited safely, and people were said to be supported to make their own choices, with visiting allowed. Staff and relatives gave mixed views about staffing levels, and the report says the way staff are deployed across the three floors was still being improved.
- Staff were recruited safely, and the provider has a method for working out how many staff are needed to meet people's needs.
- People are supported to make their own choices, with restrictions kept to a minimum and decisions made in their best interests.
- Visitors are supported, and the provider has risk assessments and policies relating to COVID-19.
- The service is working with outside stakeholders and has an action plan in place to make improvements.
- Medicines were not always given as prescribed, and some bed linen was not clean and hygienic.
- Systems for assessing and reducing risk were not yet effective enough to protect people from abuse and avoidable harm, and governance was not strong enough for leaders to identify and fix shortfalls without outside help.
- Planned improvements had not yet been fully put into practice, and staff and relatives gave mixed views on staffing numbers.
